I am really enjoying the server. Got my game running good and ya'll got your server running good and now we are having a blast.
I flew last night for about an hour in a 110C7. Started off with a furball just off of calais so I jettisoned my bombs and engaged in the fight. When that was finished up I climbed to 4.5km and began my hunt for bombers. All I came across was some HE111 returning from a sortie. I then got a message that some Blenheims were spotted in A17 and off I went.
I never found the Blennies and decided to turn for home as fuel was getting low. Yeah, even the 110 will eventually run out of fuel, lol. As I flew eastish across England on my way back to France I thought I found the Blenheims but it turned out to be HE111 inbound to London.
To my surprise there was a Spitfire chasing them and I gave him a squirt diving and head on. Saw chunks come of his plane but even a disabled Spitfire is more than a match for a 110. I tangled with him for a bit at around 4km and neither gained the advantage. As my fuel has now gotten critical I decided to nose it over and head home.
Before I even hit the coast my engines were hiccuping and I was switching tanks furiously to suck the last bit of fuel or fumes from each tank. I had relegated myself to a POW camp and was going to land at Folkestone airfield. There was a spit taking off an I couldn't resist giving him a squirt as I flew over. He crashed on his take off attempt before I could even pull the trigger! So to add insult to injury I strafed him anyhow.
I decided that my fuel tank switching tactic might actually be working and I continued out over sea to at least make it back to friendly lines if not my airfield. I got too low and was too busy clicking fuel tanks to realise I was about to plow into the channel.
Well karma got me in the end and I paid for strafing the poor pilot on his failed takeoff attempt as I plunged into the channel at a little over 300km/h. All in all phenomenal mission and a great time.
Moral of the story, while clickable is cool it's best to map buttons.
